Question Refinishing - cleaning oxidation stains - how to clean?

So I picked up a set of SSR Visconti LXD wheels and they all have the stains you can see in the picture below near the end of the spokes. I tried to clean them up with wheel cleaner, buffed with Mother's "power metal" polish and nothing so far. Would clay bar do the trick or do I need to have them blasted and refinished? Thanks!

Looks like they would have to be stripped and refinished.Are they polished?

By what I've googled they seem to be polished. Still trying to get confirmation.
